NURSERY-BOTTLE SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 577,391, dated February16, 1897. Application filed November 27,1895. Serial No. 570,267. (Nomodel.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern,.-

Beit known that I, WILLIAM A. RowAN, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of IVest Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNursery-Bottle Supports, of which the following is a specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a partthereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts.

This invention relates to supports for nursery-bottles, and the objectthereof is to provide an effective device of this class whereby anursery-bottle may be held at any desired angle or supported in anydesired position; and with this and other objects in view the inventionconsists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of partshereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which- Figure 1 is aside view of my improvement, showing the nursery-bottle supportedthereby; and Figs. 2, 3, and 4 represent details of the construction.

In the practice of my invention I provide an ordinary clamp A, having aset-screw a, and which is adapted to be connected with a table, bedpost,bedstead, or any other support, and said clamp is provided with aprojecting arm B, which passes through a clamp D, composed of two jaws dand d2, which are hinged together at one end, as shown at d3, and saidjaws are connected at the opposite end by a screw-threaded bolt E,provided.

with a head E2. The jaw d2 is provided on its inner side with alongitudinal groove (Z4, in which the arm B rests, and the jaw d isprovided on its inner side with a plate G, having a transverse groove g,and extending through said jaw and plate is a bolt g2, and said plate iscircular in form and free to revolve on the bolt g2. I also provide awire cage or frame in which a bottle is adapted to be placed, said cageorframe consisting of side pieces II and H2 and end rings h and h2, andpivotally connected with or hinged to the side piece H is a bottom orclamp K, the other end of which is provided with a hook 7c, which isadapted to engage with a hook or hooks L, secured to or formed on thelower end of the side H2.

Secured to or formed on the side H2 is a socket M, with which isconnected a rod m, which passes transversely between the jaws d and d2of the clamp D, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The rod M rests in thetransverse groove g of the plate G and is adapted to be clamped incontact with the rod or arm B by means of the screw-bolt E, and by meansof this arrangement it will be seen that the bottle O may be held in anydesired position, vertically, longitudinally, or at an angle to eitherof these positions and with the nozzle thereof directed downwardly, ifdesired, and it will also be seen that the bottle is capable of beingoscillated or rotated either in a vertical or a horizontal position orat an angle to either of these positions, as will be apparent. I thusprovide a simple and eiective device by means of which a nursery-bottlemay be held at any desired adjustment, and thus be made to accommodateitself to almost any possible position of the party .by which it is tobe used.

My invention is not limited to the exact form, construction, andarrangement of parts herein described, and I therefore reserve the rightto make all such alterations therein and modifications thereof as fairlycome within the scope of the invention.

Having fully described my invention, its construction and operation Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A support for anursery-bottle having a clamp A provided with an arm B, a basket or cagefor a bottle, a rod secured to said cage, a clamp D movably attached tosaidY rod, and

' having on one side thereof a longitudinallyextending groove and on theother side thereof a plate having a transverse groove therein, said armB secured at one end to said clamp A and being engaged ,by'said clamp D,said arm passing through said longitudinally-eX- tending groove, whilesaid rod snugly fits said plate-groove, all of said parts being combinedsubstantially as described.l

2. A basket or cage for a nursery-bottle, comprising a wire framecomposed of side pieces, and upper and lower rings, and a bot- IOOtom-fastening device or clamp hinged to one In testimony that I claimthe foregoing as side of the frame and provided with a hook my inventionI have signed my naine, in pres- Io 7c', hooks L adapted to be engagedby said ence of the subscribing Witnesses, this 26th hook k, a rodsecured to said frame :L pivotday of November, 1895.
